A NEW Fire Extinguisher that could Save Your Family

Thanks for the information. I will bookmark this post . I will buy one of these.

Joan, great info I may have to look into that product and check it out. Another way to put out a oil/grease fire is to grab a dish towel or cloth, wet it and ring it out first then place it on the pan. Being prepared in a case of emergency can be life saving.

Here is a blog I did on this showing a video of a oil fire being extinguised using this technique. Oil and Grease fire in Kitchen

Looks like a great product. . .grease fires are very dangerous because most people don't know how to fight it.

You've convinced me... I'm totally getting one of these. I had a small kitchen fire once, but luckily it wasn't a grease fire so wasn't too scary and I got it out quickly with a basic fire estinguisher. I do not want to face a grease fire!

Joan -- Never heard of this and must check it out.  Nice little extra gift to throw in for buyers. Thanks for the tips on what NOT to do when faced with a grease fire. The one cup of water stat is amazing.

Joan:

That product, Firestop, sounds like a life saver.  You mentioned that kitchen fires are different from fires in other parts of the home.  There are several types of fire extinguishers.  Check with your local hardware store to be sure you have the proper extinguisher.

This sytem has been around for decades and has been available in the commercial market.  They may have just REdirected their marketing to the residential market; however, they are a good resource for homeowners to invest in them and install near their stoves.

Thanks for the great information Joan. It could save a life. I keep a fire extingushier in my

kitchen and also my car. But this is a great idea and so handy. I will re-post this information.

Joan, This looks like a great product. grease fires are very dangerous. most folks panic and go right for the water. not a good thing. great post!  

Hi Joan, I am going to get some of these. I learn, and then forget how to use a fire extinguisher, or I may forget where I've stored it.

This is great information, Joan, that bears repeating often, especially with every generation. Grease fires are dangerous--thanks for taking the time to write about this.

I think this is a great product Joan.  I haven't seen it before but it looks like it could be a lifesaver in case of a kitchen fire.  I saw this on Joni's repost and headed over here.

What a clever and useful product to share. Great gifts especially at closing. Would make a good branding promo item.

Joan, I had a fire on the pen only ones when I poured a brandy over hot butter when was making a sauce. I think I automatically grabbed the lid. Thanks for sharing on the new product.

Joan,

This is a great reminder!  Thanks for the information on the Fire Stop.  We have a fire extinguisher but I'll have to get some of these for my kids to put in their kitchens!

Have a great weekend!

Thank you for the information. We need some new tools for fire such as one you described.
